Some scripts I wrote to start, update and stop openvas.
Not much they do just what they say they do. Saves you a few keystrokes.
Enjoy -Reaperz

First the start and update script

Code:

#!/bin/bash
# Bash script to start openvas and greenbone services.
# startopenvas.sh v0.1 by r3@p3rz
# tested in backtrack 5R1 environment, run as root.
# written just to save some steps.
# could have been done in 6 lines , but this was more fun

#### all done!
echo
echo -e "\033[01;32mOK!!\033[m"
echo -e "\033[31mAll Done!! :)\033[m
OpenVas is running!! Open browser to 127.0.0.1:9392 or open Green Bone Security Desktop.
You can close this window now!"

Now the stop and clean script

Code:

#!/bin/bash
# Bash script to stop openvas and greenbone services.
# stopopenvas.sh v0.1 by r3@p3rz
# tested in backtrack 5R1 environment, run as root.
# written just to save some steps.
# could have been done in a single line
# -ie. echo ; killall openvassd ; killall openvasad ; killall openvasmd ; killall gsad
# but this was more fun
